Most people refrain from passing trees around/publishing them on the internet for persons born within living memory of most people or at least they should so it would depend upon what you know about Alfred's parents .............. names/births/deaths/marriage/residences etc. to enable you to travel backward and place him within the correct family.

I have 2 Alfred Rossiters: one born 1887 (London), one born 1914 (Ashford). Poss related to yours?  Both Romany. The 1914 one was son of William and Emily.   The 1887 one was son of James and Susan.

Hi, I noticed that you have a lot of information on the Pettigrove family.  I am trying to track down information on Martha Pettigrove.  (Daughter of Drucilla and John)

We are not related by my Granny knew her as a girl when she lived in Lydd, Romney Marsh in Kent and when I was a girl she told me many 'Martha stories' (as they were known) of the little traveller. I even taped a few of the tales and still have this.  My Granny was very fond of her and 'Martha stories' will always one of the best memories I have of my Granny! 

I noticed that you mentioned her daughter was still alive and I do hope she still is!  It would be amazing to get in touch with her and pass on a recording of the stories I have if you are able to point me in the right direction,

Many thanks, Jo

Do you know Len/Lenny?  Druscilla's son or grandson, cant remember. He used to post on Romany Roots, the Kent message board.

[Jojopaz]

No, I don't know Len but have found transcript of romany roots discussion board... no longer able to post. Would love to get in touch with him if anyone knows how. 

 From further reasearch have found out it is a different Martha/Drusilla but they are related.

 The Drusilla mentioned in these posts, her parents were polly Lee and Richard Pettigrove.  Richard had a brother called John who married a Drusilla (Camfield)  Martha Pettigrove was one of their children (aswell as Florance, John and Edward.)  Would love to know any more information if anyone can shed light?

The family appear to also use the surname Frost if this helps?

Oh yes they're my lot lol, sort of. Theres an old pic of Martha Pettigrove. Her descendents live in Oxford, the Price girls. Unfortunately Im not allowed to put my email on here.  Yes thats right the name Frost was used, as going back one of them had a Pettigrove or a Frost as a stepfather.

[Jojopaz]

wow, amazing to find someone that knows of her... is it definitely Martha, daughter of Drusilla (nee Camfield) and John Pettigrove rather than Martha, daughter of Polly (nee Lee) and Richard Pettigrove?   Do you know much about her?
